What do you do when you are up at 2:30 am?

I end up on Pinterest... which is what I did this morning... I found this adorable quilt there that had a tutorial... Rainbow Chevron Twin Quilt Tutorial ... With a lot of thought I realize that, once again, my stash has all of the material to make one or two of these...


I am sure that I will need to make a few gifts, so I'll just add this to my "To Do" list.

My only issue with Pinterest is that I find so many items to add to my "To Do" List of late... How about you? Have you been invited to join in on the fun? Do you do a lot of pinning? I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Thanks for stopping by, Ciao for now!

Frustrated!!!

Ms Piggy is going on a pillow because it is going to look sooo much better than on the quilt... The quilt is at a stand still right about now as the sewing machine started making noises on Saturday after we arrived home.

Sooo, now I went over to my mom's to retrieve my back up machine... it has been 5 years since I really used it, so I am going to have to spend some time getting reacquainted with it once again.

Then I'll post pictures of all of the projects that I have been in the middle of doing when the main machine started making a stink!

I need more coffee...

Ciao for now!

Saturday Choices

Last night at Finish Up Friday, I brought the Log Cabin quilt to unpin the entire quilt. I had spent time pinning and getting ready for me to quilt, and kept on looking at it until I made the choice to send it to Georgette.

Georgette Gagne is the Owner/Operator of Black Wolf Quilting Studio. The studio is located in Webster, New Hampshire. All of the quilts are hand-guided quilting is done on a Gammill Classic Plus on a 14 foot frame. The size of the frame means that I can quilt sizes from a wall hanging to a California king. Not that I am looking at making a California King... One of the quilts at the RSQ show was 104 x 120 and quilted by Georgette. The quilt maker said that the quilt kept screaming "I want to get bigger" it was named "The Yellow Brick Road That Wouldn't Stop Growing." It was wonderful to view.

So, one down and another to get done and gone by Monday afternoon. Tomorrow it is off to make a few pillow cases. I am hoping to get at least eight done before it is time to come home. I am going to use the 20% coupon I have for the shop to purchase the fabric... I have fat quarters, no yardage... ah well.

Hope you have enjoyed today's rant, thank you for joining me :)
Ciao!
